There are some quilt projects
that are quick and easy.
Then there are others that
are a very long term commitment.

Over the past couple of weeks,
I've continued to work on the
Roseville Album Quilt.

Mostly because I'm committed to getting
this done...sooner than later.

I'm at the point where there are
two side panels left to do.

I decided to do them both at the same time because
1. the designing process would be easier,
2. it would help to keep the color selection balanced,
and then the third reason is
so I wouldn't have cut any more pieces
and that step would be done!

This vintage wrought iron armillary sphere garden ornament.
It might have been a sundial.
The time was told by the shadow of the arrow

falling on a callibrated band in the middle of the sphere.
Or it was just a decoration of connected spheres
representing the heaven being pierced by an arrow.
The trend now is to make any old object
shabby chic by painting it vintage white.
So we're going to repaint it
an antique bronze color.
I'll post another picture
once it's settled into the garden.

Welcome!
